Nkyenekyene community needs school block

Nsawam (Eastern Region) 13 April '99

Nsawam (Eastern Region) 13 April '99 The people of Nkyenekyene Amanforo near Nsawam, have appealed to the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Akwapim South district assembly, to provide the local junior secondary school (JSS) with classrooms without further delay. Mr Sewornu Kpodo, unit committee chairman, who made the appeal, said the school building was destroyed by rainstorm about four years ago. The people have spent 15 million cedis and provided communal labour to construct a new building to the roofing level, but because of financial difficulties they could not continue. A temporary structure has been erected for the JSS students, but they have to stop classes any time it rains. Nana Kwame Owusu Enguah the second, chief of the town offered the land for the project and said the people are ready to assist with contributions and communal labour should the district assembly or any organisation go to their aid.
